Jenn Grant, Glory Glory bound for Germany

German music fans say guten tag to Nova Scotia’s Jenn Grant and Glory Glory, showcasing at the c/o pop Festival in Cologne this weekend.

The event is seen as an important stepping stone on the international touring circuit, with both acts focusing on the European market recently.

Grant released her EP Clairvoyant earlier this summer primarily to reach fans overseas, in advance of a collection of new material coming later this fall.

Halifax trio Glory Glory is touring in support of its new EP So Long, with the single Indigo Son. Check it out at gloryglory.bandcamp.com.

Their sets are part of a Music Nova Scotia showcase taking place Saturday at Cologne’s Campi Volksbuhne.

“Germany is one of the most lucrative music markets in the world with more and more Nova Scotian artists making successful entries to this market” says MNS executive director Scott Long in a media release.

“The Nova Scotia showcase in Cologne is part of our three-year export strategy and a direct result of the Nova Scotia Music Week International Buyers Program. Both Jenn and Glory Glory were chosen by festival programmers who attended Nova Scotia Music Week in 2012.”
